A major investigation in Milan has led to the arrest of Carmine Gallo, a former top police officer, now accused of illegal data theft and espionage.

The inquiry began in the summer of 2022, following a covert meeting at a café near Piazza Fontana between Gallo and a figure linked to organized crime.

Gallo, once a leading expert on organized crime, is now the CEO of the investigative firm Equalize, which is at the center of the scandal.

Authorities claim this group posed a significant threat to state security.

The investigation revealed Gallo's connections with various criminal elements, including phone records linked to known offenders.

This case highlights the deep-rooted issues of corruption and organized crime in Italy.
